This laptop feels very nice. I normally am using my custom desktop (RTX 3080 and Ryzen 5800x). This laptop's specs are very nice for the price of $650 US. Runs any game on 1080p; newer ones are on low quality (as of games released during this review). Screen quality looks good. Nothing crazy for someone who wants to video edit, but for everyday use and gaming it looks great. Track pad feels very smooth and responsive. Webcam is pretty bad like all laptop webcams. Speakers have good volume; not the best balance. I think the port selection is really nice. The potential upgrade this laptop has is very nice. It has an extra slot for either an m.2 SSD or a 2.5in drive (comes with an adapter for m.2 to 2.5in. It also has another slot for RAM, or you can remove the current one and throw in two new sticks. I added a second 8GB of RAM, and if I want to add more storage I can. Temps are totally fine as well. Playing COD MW2 2022 at 1080p low with the fan and power profiles all set to performance mode. I was getting 79C on the CPU and 68C on the GPU. Battery life is not so good, but it can be around 1-2hrs. This is more than enough to move your laptop around and replug in. If you aren't gaming or doing anything heavy on it, you may get around 2-3hrs of battery. IDK why it advertise a 90Whrs when it has 48Whrs. May be a mistake on Amazon's website because it says 48 on ASUS's site. Also, I recommend doing a fresh install of windows to remove the bloatware. Then go to ASUS's site for the drivers and apps. this is what I did.

Well , where to begin, ….. I review a lot of tech in my profession and I am very impressed with this product. I initially bought this for business and of course the occasional gaming ;) This thing is a beast still ! I upgraded the ram to 32gb and everything else I kept the same and it’s handled everything I’ve thrown at it from games AAA titles to video editing and much more . Now, the CPU/GPU is not the newest it’s about 2 years old in the tech world but it still packs a punch, starting from the seller , to deliver , and presentation , it came in perfect condition.It’s been a long time since I had not a single complaint. This was the smoothest purchase I have had in a while . The build quality is great , the I/O has everything you need , it’s all around a total package. I’d say it’s great for the average Joe to a power user. It also is future proofed as everything is upgradable which is also nice. It has a ram card of DDR4 3200mhz that can be maxed out to 60gb’s and super easy to work on. I can happily answer any regular or advanced questions for anyone that has them. This honestly was a steal for the price and a 2 year warranty. I love the screen, it has the matte finish to cut down on glare, I am also glad the laptop is backlit, and I can put it to one color although it can pulse , strobe and a slew of other options but I always felt RGB screams “a 14 year olds first game rig” which I am sure gamers will get it, so it’s nice to choose a color and stay there. The keyboard and trackpad is super responsive, and feel nice. I was actually really impressed with the sound quality as I also use a MacBook Pro for business and they just have great sound but this ASUS just romps ! It sounds good . Another nice thing was it’s actually is as advertised, no surprises and it is specked out the way it said it was . My only suggestion is to immediately jump up to 16gb of ram and you can buy it as a bundle, I’d suggest the “crucial” brand of ram sticks they have never let me down or had any compatibility issues. Obviously there isn’t a whole lot I can say that the posting does not but I can say once actually getting it in your hands the listing doesn’t do it justice , it’s really nice. I’ll say it again the seller was great , I had it rushed shipped and it was here earlier than planned, the box and presentation was spot on and the PC performs , isn’t that what it’s about ? It does the job and it’s durable and well made. If your looking for a entry level gaming laptop that realistically can be upgraded to a mid range gaming PC , this is it . I saw the 2022 version of this TUFF laptop and honestly you’d be best getting this one at this price point which is a late 2020 model and Its basically the same laptop other than internals( obviously). If there was one thing I would like to have change is the bloat these companies put on the PC. I really don’t mind windows 11 it’s a welcomed change. I requested a clean install , unfortunately and I get it , it’s just business and the way these companies work together to make money but it would have been nice to not have to wipe it and debloat the machine. However I will always recommend to do so anyway as it makes a huge difference. That’s really the only meh vibe I had to say about this awesome product and let’s be real , there will always be bloat from anywhere you buy new machine from. Just run a clean install of win11 and you’re golden! Before I forget the battery life is actually pretty good I saw others saying otherwise but again a clean install of windows 11 will definitely improve that, the screen has a decent brightness maybe if it had 1 more level up it would be perfect otherwise this is as close as to a all inclusive total package your gonna get. Great price for a great machine . Best of luck and I hope this helps someone make a decision, if you have questions feel free to ask away , I’m a straight shooter and happy to help! Happy Holidays!

For clarity, this review is for the 15.6" GTX 1650 version, not the 17.3" GTX 1650Ti version. Positives! This laptop is perfect for me and what I need right now. I am currently in between homes, over the road a lot for work and have all of my stuff in storage, including my main PC, so I bought a laptop so I could continue doing work and gaming while on the go. This laptop is not top of the line by any means, it's no $2,000 laptop with an RTX 3080 or anything like that, but if you want a good mid-range laptop that can get 60FPS on some everyday gaming, this is as good as mid-range laptops get in my opinion. Even on my main, much beefier PC, I've never been one to crank up the settings and enable raytracing, 4k etc. I'm more of a framerate type of person and this laptop does a great job getting high frame rates if you're willing to adjust the settings accordingly. The screen is a clean 1920x1080, lovely quality (though the brightness isn't that great), comes with an NVME 512GB hard drive which is not a bad start if you're not trying to install a Call of Duty game with 100gb patches, but that leads into another glowing positive - this thing is upgradeable and I love it! One of the hardest things about picking a laptop for me is the eventual obsolescence, so in the few times I've bought a laptop in my life, I prefer ones you can upgrade which will allow you to skirt by the expected lifespan for a bit longer. Overall, my complaints a few, but I will point them out. Negatives! Honestly, 8GB of RAM is... well, it's not enough for any modern PC that you want to do more than browse the internet, but this negative hardly counts against it because once again, it is upgradeable! I added 32GB to mine and it runs like a dream now. The fact it ships with such low RAM is forgivable because that's probably why the price of entry is as low as it is. I also had a few problems with the Wi-Fi antenna at first, which I know is not unique to my laptop, but after a few online searches, troubleshooting and settings adjustments, it hasn't dropped the connection for a couple of days, so I think I'm over that hump. My last complaint and honestly maybe the only one that could be considered "major" is the screen brightness. To be clear, I'm talking about BRIGHTNESS, not QUALITY. The resolution is wonderful and the screen is a clear HD experience, but keep this thing away from the sunlight if you want to see it easily... I took it to the park one day and while I could see the screen, I felt like I was squinting, and I had to change my preferred dark mode to light mode just to see the Windows UI better. Once again, I consider this a minor gripe and won't take a star off, because if you're using this thing indoors or in appropriate shade, the screen is beautiful. Overall, if you're looking for an affordable, upgradeable, laptop suited for everyday gaming (as long as you're not trying to push max settings, 4k or raytracing), you won't be disappointed!

Si eres un jugador casual, no eres exigente y buscas algo barato, esta es la opción. Puedes jugar todo lo que quieras con graficos decentes y por el precio vale mucho la pena (lo conseguí en oferta)

La compre con descuento, tengo mas de un año con la laptop y sigue con buen desempeño y funcionamiento, sin embargo desde el inicio le aumente a 16gb de RAM. Le tuve que volver a instalar el driver del internet porque ya no lo detectaba pero eso fue por la ultima actualización de windows , de ahí en fuera no me a dado algún problema. Me gusta este equipo
